About This Treatment

Ksharsutra is a specialized Ayurvedic para-surgical technique using a medicated thread coated with alkaline herbs. In piles treatment, the thread is tied around the pile mass, cutting off its blood supply and causing the tissue to gradually necrose and fall off over 7–10 days.

This technique has been practiced for over 3,000 years and is endorsed by modern research as an effective alternative to conventional surgery, particularly for Grade 2 and Grade 3 piles. At Shraddha Hospital, we combine authentic Ksharsutra with modern hygiene protocols for safe, effective results.
